That sounds nice. Here in the land of .AU, where any decent sized link
is expensive (ISDN is a rip-off here), the cable company (one
at present) wants you to buy the modem outright, for about $500 AU
(pretty close to $500 CDN I think). Fortunately they do rent out
the set top boxes for the television signal.

Cable modem here is $65/mo I think, including 100mb traffic, then
it's *** 35c/mb! ***
ISDN is about $70/month rental, with timed local calls; costs a small
fortune for a semi-permanent connection. (That's for 2xB + 1xD, ie
basic rate.)
